So these decks were made by the cards that i use a lot and then a cards which i don't use at all. There are many of my favourite cards and playing with these was really fun.

My goal when i made these decks were to make decent decks that has been builded around for hidden cache and leaf brooch cards. I made these decks like an hour or something like that (to me it's a really much!) and they worked well against Into The Pit quest, then i made few changes to them. Yesterday we played the Foundations Of Stone quest and we won it about by 110 points (can't remember the points accurately).

But anyway here are the decks:

Silent Travellers

Deck one

Total Cards: (53 )

Heroes: (2)

1x Theodred

1x Beravor

Allies: (15)

3x Longbeard Elder

3x Ithilien Lookout

3x Dunedain Wanderer

1x Faramir

1x Gildor Inglorion

1x Gandalf

1x Warden of Helm’s Deep

1x Henamarth Riversong

1x Gleowine

Attachments: (14)

3x Resourceful

3x Leaf Brooch

3x Ranger Bow

2x Expert Treasure-hunter

2x Steward of Gondor

1x Asfaloth

3x Risk Some Light

3x Swift and Silent

3x Expecting Mischief

3x Daeron's Runes

3x Needful to Know

3x Fresh Tracks

2x Gildor's Counsel

2x Campfire Tales

1x Strider's Path

1x Secret Paths

Strategy: This deck's main goal is to get cards and resources. You really want to keep your threat low because there are many secrecy cards. So quests with lots of threat raising cards aren't the best quests for these decks nor quests which has low engament cost enemies.

Good starting hand example: Leaf brooch, swift and silent, asfaloth, steward of gondor, risk some light and gleowine

Deck two

Total Cards: (50)
Heroes: (3)
1x Glorfindel
1x Dunhere
1x Galadriel
Alles: (28)
3x Galadriel’s Handmaiden
3x Ethir Swordsman
3x West Road Traveller
3x Gandalf
3x Pelargir Shipwright
3x Envoy of Pelargir
3x Zigil Miner
3x Imladris Stargazer
2x The Riddermark's Finest
1x Emery
1x Arwen Undomiel
Attachments: (9)
3x Light of Valinor
3x Miruvor
1x Mirror of Galadriel
1x Nenya
1x Unexpected Courage
Events: (13)
3x Elrond's Counsel
3x Hidden Cache
3x Ride Them Down
2x The Galadhrim's Greeting
2x A Test of Will
Good starting hand example: unexpected courage, zigil miner, imladris stargazer, arwen undomiel, light of valinor and pelargir shipwright.
Strategy: This deck's main goals are questing and keeping the other deck's threat below 21 by using Galadriel and few threat lowering cards. You get cards from the other deck and reources you get from zigil miner with imladris stargazer, discarding hidden cache by using emery or zigil and from other deck. Dunhere takes care of low defense enemies with a help from the other deck (rangers bow, expecting mischief and fresh tracks) and ride them down is for the toughest enemies.
Cards needed: Core set-ringmaker cycle (some of the packs don't include like the Nin-in-Eilph)

Ps: These are pretty new decks so any suggestios would be great and if you'r going to test this deck, please tell how it went :)

These seem to have some great ideas mixed into them, so I really want to try them. We'll see if I can find the time.
